A PURITAN CATECHISM

26. Wherein did Christ's humiliation consist?
Christ's humiliation consisted in his being born, and that in a low condition, made under the law, undergoing the miseries of this life, the wrath of God, and the cursed death of the cross; in being buried, and continuing under the power of death for a time.

27. Wherein consists Christ's exaltation?
Christ's exaltation consists in his rising again from the dead on the third day, in ascending up into heaven, and sitting at the right hand of God the Father, and in coming to judge the world at the last day.

28. How are we made partakers of the redemption purchased by Christ?
We are made partakers of the redemption purchased by Christ, by the effectual application of it to us by his Holy Spirit.

29. How does the Spirit apply to us the redemption purchased by Christ?
The Spirit applies to us the redemption purchased by Christ, by working faith in us, and by it uniting us to Christ in our effectual calling.

30. What is effectual calling?
Effectual calling is the work of God's Spirit whereby, convincing us of our sin and misery, enlightening our minds in the knowledge of Christ, and renewing our wills, he does persuade and enable us to embrace Jesus Christ freely offered to us in the gospel.


ALL, LIKE MOUNT ZION,
UNMOVED SHALL ENDURE
(PSALM 125)

All, like Mount Zion, unmoved shall endure
Whose confidence in the Lord is secure.
Like hills encircling Jerus’lem around,
Always the Lord will His people surround.


No wicked ruler for long will remain
Over the righteous ones’ chosen domain,
Lest righteous men yield to evil too strong,
Putting their hands to commit what is wrong.


Lord, to the good and the upright in heart,
Show goodness; but make the crooked depart.
All who do evil the Lord will expel;
O let Your peace rest upon Israel.

LET EVERY VALLEY
(ISAIAH 40)

Comfort, Oh comfort My people
Come and speak comfort to them
Come tell them their warfare has ended
That they have paid twice for their sins


Let there be peace in the valley
Let them rejoice on the hills
Make straight in the desert a highway
Let the good Word of God be fulfilled


Let every valley be lifted up
Let the mountains and hills be made low
Let the rugged terrain 

Be made a smooth plain
For the gospel to go


Somewhere I hear a voice calling
Tell me, oh what does it say?
That just like the flower in winter
Or the grass on a hot summer's day


Man in his pomp too will perish
When God but breathes upon him
Yet unlike the riches he cherished
The good Word of God will not end


(Refrain x2)

O PRAISE THE LORD!
O THANK THE LORD!
(PSALM 106A)

O praise the Lord! O thank the Lord,
For bountiful is He
Because His lovingkindness lasts
Through all eternity


O who can fully praise the Lord,
Or count His deeds of might?
How blessed are they who justice keep,
And always do what’s right


Remember me with favor, Lord
Which You Your people show
O come to me, draw near that I
May Your salvation know


That with Your chosen ones I may
Enjoy prosperity
And may with  Your inheritance
In You boast joyfully

SCRIPTURE READING

Numbers 28

APOSTLES' CREED

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
His only-begotten Son, our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hades.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and sits
at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He shall come to judge
the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.
Amen.


O CHURCH ARISE

O church arise and put your armour on
Hear the call of Christ our Captain
For now the weak can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given
With shield of faith and belt of truth
We'll stand against the devil's lies
An army bold whose battle cry is Love
Reaching out to those in darkness


Our call to war to love the captive soul
But to rage against the captor
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valour
When faced with trials on every side
We know the outcome is secure
And Christ will have the prize for which He died
An inheritance of nations


Come see the cross where love and mercy meet
As the Son of God is stricken
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet
For the Conqueror has risen
And as the stone is rolled away
And Christ emerges from the grave
This victory march continues till the day
Every eye and heart shall see Him


So Spirit come put strength in every stride
Give grace for every hurdle
That we may run with faith to win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful
As saints of old still line the way
Retelling triumphs of His grace
We hear their calls and hunger for the day
When with Christ we stand in glory


MY HEART IS FILLED WITH THANKFULNESS

My heart is filled with thankfulness
to Him who bore my pain,
Who plumbed the depths of my disgrace
and gave me life again,
Who crushed my curse of sinfulness
and clothed me in His light,
And wrote His law of righteousness
with pow’r upon my heart.


My heart is filled with thankfulness
to Him who walks beside,
Who floods my weaknesses with strength
and causes fear to fly,
Whose ev’ry promise is enough
for ev’ry step I take,
Sustaining me with arms of love
and crowning me with grace.


My heart is filled with thankfulness
to Him who reigns above,
Whose wisdom is my perfect peace,
whose ev’ry thought is love,
For ev’ry day I have on earth
is given by the King.
So I will give my life, my all
to love and follow Him.


LIVING HOPE

How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation I turned to heaven
And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness Your loving-kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished the end is written
Jesus Christ my living hope


Who could imagine so great a mercy
What heart could fathom such boundless grace
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken I am forgiven
The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior I’m Yours forever
Jesus Christ my living hope


Hallelujah praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain, 

There’s salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ my living hope


Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me


SERMON

Luke 16:14-18

TASTE AND SEE

I sought the Lord and He answered me
And delivered me from every fear
Those who look on Him are radiant
They'll never be ashamed, They'll never be ashamed


This poor man cried and the Lord heard me
And saved me from my enemies
The Son of God surrounds His saints
He will deliver them, He will deliver them


Magnify the Lord with me
Come exalt His name together
Glorify the Lord with me
Come exalt His name forever


O taste and see that the Lord is good
O blessed is he who hides in Him
O fear the Lord O all you saints
He'll give you everything, He'll give you everything


Let us bless the Lord
Every day and night
Never ending praise
May our incense rise
(Repeat)
